Heard this many times before. It's an argument against photographing any popular event or landmark. But the counter argument is that it's my take on the shot, I do it for fun or profit, and it's my business. If I ask for advice on how to do it, please provide that advice. Personally, I don't care if anyone has taken that shot before me; it's my turn and I'm taking my shot.
That's fine, if that's how you want to spend your time and money. Me, I'm always looking for a slightly different angle on things; if "totality" were coming through my area, I'd be looking for a way to get images of the chasers. I keep hearing that this is a special event, but all the planning I hear of is trying to do what NASA can do better.
